What is the relationship between electrical current and magnetic field strength in an electromagnet?

• When current is increased, magnetic field strength increases
• When current is increased the strength of magnetic field decreases
• When the current is decreased, the strenght of the magnetic field is increased.
• There is an "indirect proportion," meaning, if the value of one goes up, the value of the other goes down.

How do you increase the strength of an electromagnet? (choose two)

• Add a motor and/or light bulbs

• Add more light bulbs and wire coils

• Add more wire coils

• Increase the voltage

How can a magnet be used to produce an electric current?

• Hold a magnet next to a piece of wire.

• Wrap wire around a magnet.

• Spin the magnet around inside a coil of wire.
